Winter candles made the way the rest of the range is made: 100% natural soy wax, cotton-and-paper wicks, hand-poured in New Hampshire. Fresh Balsam is the centre of it, crisp eucalyptus over balsam and fir, available as a 9 oz and as the 13.75 oz that burns 60 to 80 hours: most of a winter from one jar.

What are the best Christmas candle scents?

The ones that read as the season without reading as an air freshener: balsam and fir for the tree, cinnamon and clove folded into cream for the baking, apple and orange peel for the early dark of autumn. Sweetness should sit underneath the scent, not on top of it.
